If her original measurements for that recipe feeds 6 people, then write this equation, 6p = 72, to represent the amount of people it will feed. 72 divided by 6 is 12. The thing is, 12 isn't your answer. In the actual problem, it states that a quarter cup of mayonnaise is necessary to feed 6 people. So multiple one-fourth by 12. (If you don't know how to do that, just divide 12 by 4.) 

As a result, your final answer should be 3 cups of mayonnaise.

72/6 = 12

1/4 * 12 = 3

She will need 3 cups of mayo to feed 72 people.

solong [7]
They are each multiplied by a factor of 3.5
You can calculate this by taking the length of the similar prism and divide it with the first prism 14.7/4.2 = 3.5
Do this with the width and height to be sure
20.3/5.8 = 3.5
33.6/9.6 = 3.5

if there is 50 students on each of the teams

9(5)=45

As one can see,they both cannot multiply up to 50,but they round up.
